The Westin Peachtree Plaza

Atlanta, Georgia

Virgin rating

The hotel

A statement hotel, this glass column stretches far above neighbouring high rises to give unrivalled views over Atlanta through its floor-to-ceiling windows. To top it all off, literally, it’s capped with The Sun Dial, a three-tiered venue featuring a revolving restaurant, rotating cocktail lounge, and observatory floor with 360-degree views, all reached by an external glass elevator that scales the glazed cylinder in just 85 seconds. Far below, on the 11th floor, the indoor pool’s just as spectacular, with its curved glass roof folding away to let in the sun on hot Atlanta days. To celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2016, the Westin Peachtree Plaza was treated to a $70 million renovation, adding extras like BikeWESTIN cycles, and turning this statuesque pillar into one of downtown Atlanta’s most up-to-date pads.

Front desk staff was amazing! Based on my positive experience, I would stay at this location again! I was originally booked for a double, but needed a larger room to accommodate an unplanned traveling companion. Staff was amazing! Thank you Westin Peachtree!

The hotel is pretty old - no bedside power or charging sockets for mobile devices, the cover of the chair in my room has worn off, complicated air-con control panel, broken ice machine on my floor, TV signals often got shut off due to network issues, etc. The most frustrating experiences were with the front desk staff. Checking-in was fine, but… Read more
The hotel is pretty old - no bedside power or charging sockets for mobile devices, the cover of the chair in my room has worn off, complicated air-con control panel, broken ice machine on my floor, TV signals often got shut off due to network issues, etc. The most frustrating experiences were with the front desk staff. Checking-in was fine, but when later I asked for a late check-out of 2pm and went to downstairs reception, it took quite an explanation for the front desk staff to understand that they need to re-do my keycards, so that I could get in my room after 12pm. I am an Platinum member so the faster Internet option should be free. However the charge appeared on my statement sent by email. I wanted to fix this problem and went to reception to check out. There is not a long line at the Bonvoy desk, but it took so long for the staff to deal with any single customer. I timed and it typically took up to 10 minutes for one guest. I do not know whether that was because of unsophisticated customers or incompetent hotel staff. You could see them discussing/changing payment cards, engaging in small talks, but just could not get things done and move the line. They seem to be blind to the frustration of guests who were waiting in line. There is one more computer there, but they just do not man it. When finally it was my turn, the agent again took 2 minutes just to load up the account info at her computer. She told me that she reversed the charge and printed a paper statement without showing it. However it has been 5 days now the charge is still on my credit card without any entry of refund. I actually missed my flight due to dealing with this incorrect charge and the long waiting time at check-out. One of the worst Marriott experience. Read less

The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta is a cool place to stay in the middle of everything. I really like the views and everything that they have available here. The staff here is very friendly and makes sure that you have everything that you need for the best stay.

After reading some of the reviews I became a little nervous. However we just finished a wonderful weekend there. Beautiful hotel....our room was very clean! View was awesome. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. The location was great. Close to so many restaurants within walking distance. We valet our car for the extra charge and convenience. It was worth it. Definitely would stay again. No complaints!! Read less

This is certainly a 3-star experience. The drab decor is rather tired, with fraying carpets in corridors and that 'public-transport-waiting-room' smell in the rooms. Staff are generally pleasant, but the hotel is clearly understaffed. It's a 50:50 thing whether your room will be made-up at all. And when it is made up, then it's quite likely to… Read more
This is certainly a 3-star experience. The drab decor is rather tired, with fraying carpets in corridors and that 'public-transport-waiting-room' smell in the rooms. Staff are generally pleasant, but the hotel is clearly understaffed. It's a 50:50 thing whether your room will be made-up at all. And when it is made up, then it's quite likely to be only partially completed. (We were a party of 10, and colleagues had the same experience.) The room next door to me had ordered room service, but the dirty plates and trays were still in the corridor more than 24-hours later. Don't bother trying to call the front desk or any other hotel staff from the room, incidentally – your call will probably go unanswered. Food in the cafe/bar isn't too bad, but the service again is lacking. It can take a very long time indeed to be served or to get your check, even if not especially busy. Read less
